And pocket knives? Don't get me started. I once paid more for a pocketknife than I did for my first car. They really are like pocket jewelry.

But you'll pardon me if I think that a small Sebenza makes a far better "intelligent statement of style and independence" than this thing. (And how is one supposed to assert independence by aping "Hollywood's A-List actresses"?)

...But what, exactly, does one do with one? Okay, I can see that it has a bottle opener. The wave on my pocket knife works as one too. And you can pry with one. But can you pry any more than with a multitools flat screwdriver?

They are very pretty, but I'm just not seeing the point in one. Anyone care to enlighten me?

...I should worry about damaging pivots? õ.o The thought hadn't really occurred to me. :P (Busting the end of the screwdriver, yes, but then again these days I carry a ByrdRench and new flat head hex bits are something like 50 Euro-cents each. :) )

And did I mention already that all my pocket knives have the wave feature so they work as bottle openers? :)

Every time I tried to be cool an open a bottle with my Emerson Commander, I busted my knuckles. :(

OTOH, you can wow the room by using the lanyard loop on the butt of a 1911. I can't remember if Art or Johnny Guest taught me that little trick, but it's why I put an S&A lanyard loop MSH on my '66 Colt. :D

Far be it from me to stand between anyone and micro-prybar, but County Comm has some similar pry small fry...and there's always something useful being touted at the EDC forum - a good source to find prybabies when no one else has 'em. Don't neglect the oldie-but-goodie S&W keychain/pocket screwdriver.
